  This is an easily accessible, well stocked store. A pleasant surprise considering the demand for fresh groceries post hurricane. Ice freezers fully stocked. Many supplies for those without power as well. Pleasant well trained staff. Truly lives up to the slogan "...Where shopping is a pleasure"

  Never stop at the deli counter after 4 during the week or on the weekends, the regular crew is good but the second string is fourth or fifth. I'd give my eyeteeth for a good Kroger's in Gainesville, some competition to a chain clearly cutting costs to make itself look good for the IPO. Publix does a fine job of faking Southern hospitality (I really don't need 18-year-olds commenting on my grocery purchases) but product selection is mediocre, varying by store, and the produce is remarkably second-rate throughout town. As noted by another poster, this particular store is better than the one on Tower and Archer but that isn't saying much, the one in Butler near Target is a step up. The real problem is that the closest half-dozen groceries are all Publix -- the lack of competition shows. No one west of I-75 appears to have heard of rotating stock, putting the oldest in front and the newest in back. Or removing product after the safe date -- on 27 Dec 2017 I purchased eggs with an expiration date of 17 Dec (not this store, but Publix). Did find English Muffins with a YEAR OLD expiration date in early 2017. Got charged Boar's Head price for Publix generic cheese on 31 Dec 2017.
